Quadruple 1

Synchronicities abound
Haunting mysteries astound
An intriguing tale is spun
On today, quadruple one.

Out There

He swore that he would wait
but she was in another state
they texted every day
and chatted when she was okay,

more pleasant and sedate.
He swore that he would wait
Despite the loneliness he felt
He wanted her, no one else

So he accepted it
Ignoring every little fit,
He swore that he would wait
Though she was in another state.

Collapsing

I forgot how to spell
My blog went to hell
Because my computer can do things so well

And now I can’t stop
Although I'm a flop
And traffic (like me) will probably drop.

Unsinkable

Drainers try to drink you
Make sure you have a plug
For when they cannot sink you
They won’t be so damn smug.

Noncombatant

How long can you go on pure will?
I’ll let you know because I’m going still
Despite a stumble now and then
I’m much too stubborn to say when

I could keep going on at length
But honestly I’m trying to save my strength
For will power can only go so far When everyone just wants to spar.

Sweet Evelyn

There’s only one I think of
That always makes me grin
Sweet Evelyn
And every time I dream of her
My head begins to spin
Sweet Evelyn

I look into the sky and see the stars shine
Even though they're so far away
And I wonder if someday she will be mine
But it’s not for me to say
Sweet Evelyn

Meant To

Why am I emphatic
My joy so automatic
When thinking of the poems that I
Can fashion from the static?

There is no apprehension
No need for intervention
I'll write until the day I die
And that’s my lone intention.

Large Withdrawal

This may sound strange
But, do I look like a bank?
Despite needing change
I try my best to be frank
And tell folks there’s no money here
While they extend their hands and sneer.

Appointed

In the twilight of the time shift
I feel a bit ahead
Through endless sands we all sift
For grains of truth that fled

A second can become a week
A minute now a year
The threat of loss controls the meek
The hour of judgement here.

Taken Aback

Everything I ever say
Is always meant in the nicest way
Unless you’ve got me seeing red
Then we’ll both regret what’s said.
